In order to survive he will have to accept his new self as a Broke A$$ Rich Kid.

CREATOR'S STATEMENT

Broke A$$ Rich Kid comes from my experiences growing up in an ethnic Russian family in Beverly Hills. Like many of my other friends who were raised by wealthy immigrants, I was never given the grind skills to be independent. The path was set for me to follow my siblings and cousins into the family business. Whether I wanted to or not was irrelevant. In my late 20s I started to have panic attacks. Years of therapy later, when I finally did become independent, I lacked the tools for survival. I rarely invited my Beverly Hills friends to my first apartment because I was ashamed of it, and where I lived. In order to make money, I started at the bottom and worked. While my hip millennial friends were buying houses in Silverlake, I was cleaning plates at trendy restaurants to make ends meet, sometimes even their plates. Getting through the stress and the struggle gave me a thick skin. As time went on, I began to see my old world from a different point of view. It was a thrilling experience and served as the basis for what is now Broke A$$ Rich Kid.
